The NBA will investigate the behavior of fans who sat courtside at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio and allegedly directed profanity towards New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson during Game 1 of the NBA Finals, reports Chris Haynes of NBA on Prime and NBATV.
According to the report, the remarks concerned Brunson “flopping,” and Brunson, who scored 30 points in the 105-95 win, met with official Scott Foster after the game to discuss the fans’ remarks.

The NBA Code of Conduct clearly states the behavior they expect fans to adhere to when attending a game.
“Guests will enjoy the basketball experience free from and without engaging in disruptive behavior, including foul or abusive language, betting-related or other harassment directed towards players or other game participants, and obscene gestures,” part of the code reads.
The penalties for fan misbehavior at NBA games are severe; the Code of Conduct states that anyone who violates it could face “ejection without refund, revocation of their season tickets, and/or prevention from attending future games. They may also be in violation of local ordinances, resulting in possible arrest and prosecution.”
